Trendy High-Contrast Portrait Effect.

I recently bought a photoshop book by Scott Kelby on recommendation of fellow photographer Nazreen Essack. Found this cool technique, unfortnately could not find a it on the web. I'll continue my search and if I find it I'll be sure to add it. I thought I'd share the photo with you anyway. It was taken a couple years ago when Dorothy came for her first make-over. So far the results of this technique has been very satisfactory, but it works particularly well with people who have light coloured eyes.

1st Term!

Well the 1st term has come and gone, and I've done no blogging. I have been busy though, grade 1 is tougher that I thought, for me anyway. Hannah is to be handling it well, she's a star and doing really well. I however need help. I will try and do better this term and do my homework as well. So keep checking in on me, make me feel guilty if you have to.

Cook-off @ the Cape Quarter

I was approached by a friend of mine who was unable to do the shoot and she asked me if I wanted to do it. I wasn't sure what to expect, but things worked out well and the client was happy.

"And thank you again the images are truly beautiful, I was very impressed."

2010 is here!

Wow, the new year arrived with a bang, and a month's gone by already, I'm bushed. My daughter started grade 1 and we are trying to settle into a routine, so far so good. I have so much blogging to do. Keep watching this space.

O Family

You'll recognise this couple from an earlier wedding post. It was great fun working with them again and their little boy is so gorgeous. What a happy, busy little boy.

The boy next door.

This little man lives next door to me, and he's always popping around for some play time with my kids. Even though he is only 2, he fits right in with all the boys and girls in the street. As you can see from the first pic, he wasn't quite sure whether this was his thing, but after a while he got right into it. Still like the pic though, and it just goes to show that you don't always have to smile to make a great photo.
